Leading twist light cone distribution amplitudes (LCDAs) are key ingredients in calculating various hadronic amplitudes using light cone QCD sum rules. This work concentrates on calculating the leading twist LCDAs of P-wave heavy quarkonia.…
The quark mass function $\Sigma(p)$ in QCD is revisited, using a gluon propagator in the form $1/(k^2 + m_g^2)$ plus $2\mu^2/ (k^2 + m_g^2)^2$, where the second (IR) term gives linear confinement for $m_g = 0$ in the instantaneous limit,…
